I've got a scene where the MC has finally located his Master's gravesite. While he's digging up the grave, the person who murdered his master shows up. I would love, love, love for the MC to have a rib in his hand and then turn around and stab this enemy with his master's rib bone. I've done some research on how strong bones are, but I all I keep finding is research on living bones. Does anyone know if dead bones become brittle? How long does that take? I know dogs chew on them for hours, but those are usually cooked, processed bones.
Could you stab someone with a rib bone? It doesn't have to kill, or even do sustaining damage. It's a heated and emotional scene and it's really the irony that I'm after. I guess it's just bonus points if the rib can actually pierce flesh.
